Select the Main Operating Band
In the factory default configuration, the FT−8800R operates in the Dual Receive mode.
During Dual Receive operation, the Main band frequency ( on which transmission is possible)
will be indicated by the icon.
You will observe the icon lighting up alternate sides of the display as you switch Main
bands from the left side to the right side, and vice-versa. (The following illustration shows the
Main band on the left side and the Sub band on the right side.)
To establish the Main band, momentarily press one of the following:
• The left or right DIAL knob
• MH−48A6J microphone’s key
To switch the frequency band, see Change the Frequency Band on page 18 for details.
